I have a daughter who loves markers! She loves markers that can go on and on as she colors many many masterpieces. She has tried many different brands and whereas she might have liked others, she really enjoyed using Magic Stix Washable Markers by The Pencil Grip, Inc. The 24 pack already in their build-in case have moved into her basket of favorites and she tries to hide them from others. Before she laid eternal claim to them, I was able to test whether or not they truly will not dry out for 7 days with the cap off as it's guaranteed. Here are my results and as you can tell with my meager palm tree, I will not be up for any artist awards:
Not only do kids love markers but so do some of us adults as I couldn't pass up a chance to try them out. The color I used for the test was an olive green color and there was no change from day one to day seven. This is a big deal especially for those with small children who are notorious for leaving caps off.
The Pencil Grip, Inc.'s Magic Stix Washable Markers also state they are washable so I tested that out as well. I did have difficulty getting the marker out of my dishtowel but after several washes, I was able to remove the marking. I was able to remove it easier after my three year old grandson decided to get some on his arm and the floor.
My youngest loves the Magic Stix Washable Markers and I like that they are odorless, non-toxic and have an array of bright and bold colors. They are perfect for all the little artwork and more, as seen above from the picture of Lady Mary from one of our favorite BBC shows drawn by my 10 year old. She couldn't stop coloring and decided to make a project of it by creating her very own artist portfolio!
Below are two more of her masterpieces and as you can see, they are not exhibiting any fading in the color:
Overall, my little Rembrandts and I recommend Magic Stix Washable Markers for the following reasons:
- The wonderful sturdy carrying case is see through which allows them to be inspired to grab a color and start creating new works of art!
- The case holds each marker securely and posed no issues even for my three year old grandson in choosing to remove a marker.
- The wide array of many bold and bright colors.
- The pointed tip for fine lines as well as the sides to allow for larger strokes.
- They didn't get in trouble if they accidentally marked up somewhere outside the paper since they are washable.
- They didn't dry up if the cap was left off.
- The paper doesn't get wrinkled up while coloring as other markers do. They do bleed through thinner paper as all markers do from my experience.
- The caps aren't color coded to the marker so placing caps back on is easier when multiple markers are in use.
